Fertility Q&A-Letrozole, Ovarian Cysts, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, and More!

Dr. Natalie Crawford answers the voicemails you called in.

1. My husband is a long time smoker who gave cigarettes up for vaping. His sperm parameters are all normal but should I be worried about anything else regarding his semen when it comes to embryo banking? I also have diminished ovarian reserve.

2. When is it best to take Letrozole while doing timed intercourse? What is the best protocol for the trigger shot?

3.Could my ovarian cysts be contributing to high progesterone in the follicular phase?

4. What are the treatment options for recurrent pregnancy loss?

5. If an egg is immature but successfully fertilizes, can it make it to the embryo stage and be genetically normal?
